Official site 112 19th Ave S
Lines are real. Order a milder heat than your pride wants. Several locations now; Midtown is the classic first stop.
Antebellum house tour on the Belmont University campus — Gilded Age Nashville, not Music Row.
A Midtown bar with regular writer nights and a neighborhood feel Broadway does not have.
A hotel listening room that books serious writers and small touring acts. Nice room, real songs.
